An amazing service. Jordan took great care on my roof. I was concerned about my Kent Peg Tiles getting damaged and he made sure they were left in perfect condition. He carried out the repair to my ridge tiles perfectly. Highly recommended!
As a property developer, finding decent contractors is difficult. I’ve used Jordan a few times for new roofing projects and repairs, and would not go anywhere else. A true professional that takes great pride in his work.
